INPS, half a million retired for over 36 years. Boeri: “We need input from high amounts” – The Republic

ROME – In Italy there are over 474 000 Pension payments before 1980, who then receive their pension for over 36 years. The figure emerges from the INPS tables on years of pension effect on retirement benefits (including retirement) and survivors of the private sector, thus excluding both the social security disability payments, and those for disabled civilians both social pensions and of course the treatments of former civil servants.

FOCUS / PENSIONS

One thing immediately commented on by the president of INPS, Tito Boeri : “as son were made of excessive concessions in the past and these excessive concessions today weigh on the shoulders of taxpayers – said on the sidelines of the conference Enterprise City – think it would be appropriate to go for higher amounts to ask for a solidarity contribution for the younger and also to make it easier to level European this flexible output. “

a Boers had been asked in detail whether the presence of such a vast audience of long-time pensioners, is not the case even going to review the acquired rights, also to make more sustainable pension system. “We have formulated very articulate proposals, looking at age, the effect of the first board – responds Boeri -. Because when you look also to the pension amounts should always look at how long these amounts are perceived. They can also be limited amounts but if one has received them since he was under 40 years old, clearly cumulatively over time come to establish a considerable pension wealth transfer. “

in the retirement pensions the average age at the inception date was 54.9 years while for the survivors, the average age was 41.3 years. These figures do not include baby pensioners in the public sector who managed to get out before 1992 work at least 14 years, six months and one day of contributions if women married with children.

The INPS in fact, at the time it not even disseminates statistics on years of effective use of public sector pensions. Looking only to the private sector are old-age pension for over 30 years (pensions with effect prior to 1986) more than 800 thousand people while others 527,000 checks are survivors. One of the treatments could refer to the same person (in the case has already been before thirty years ago have been entitled to a retirement pension, and being also assured of surviving).

The average age of the effect was much lower than the current because you withdrew for retirement at age 55 for females and 60 for males. If you look only to pensions prior to 1980 (then in effect for at least 36 years) provided for reasons other than old age and from being survivors, social security disability benefits are 439,718 (44.5 at the age effect) social pensions 24,308 ( 33 years the average age at the inception date) and 96,973 pensions to disabled civilians (23.21 years at the age effect). In 2015, pensions paid by seniority were 238,400 with an average age of 62.55 years to effect while the survivors were 173,378 with an average age of 73.89 years to effect.

as for amounts , after the controversy on the high number of pensioners below 750 euro per month, nearly 6 out of 10, the president of INPS Boeri invites us to “look to the average for all age given, and not the average pension “because” the situation is less serious than what you might think. ” “There was a wrong information, you have to look at the average for all age given, not to the average pension – he explains -. In Italy there are many pensioners who receive more than one treatment, this does not mean that pensions are low in Italy , but the situation is less serious than what you might think taking the figure for single-board “. Boer explains that “the average data for pensioners for 2014 will begin to be available from July” and the picture will be clearer with that data.

The important thing is to take action “in reasonably times close “with a reform in order to have more flexibility in the pensions. “It ‘important that action is taken – added Boeri – is not something you can put off for long. Especially the most important aspects in the labor market are something on which we must act now, because the blockade bites and somehow obstructing the’ young people entering the labor market right now, not in three years. I think it is appropriate to intervene in a reasonably tight schedule “. “After that there are some compatibility at European level, there are priorities that is not for me to establish in the action of government, if you want to intervene should do it now,” he says.

“It ‘ a fact of freedom – he adds -. There are people who have the individual plans, so they think at a certain point of exit from the labor market to retirement. If this output is possible to conceive it in a way that is sustainable and not serious on future of young people, and does not increase the pension debt, which means make reductions in the amount of pensions in order to prevent these people from taking advantage compared to those who work longer, if you can make an intervention of this kind, it is good doing it. But we must do it with these features. “

in the wake of yesterday’s joint mobilization of trade unions on pensions node, however, rejecting the hypothesis of a recalculation of the entire working life with the contribution system, for Economy Undersecretary Pier Paolo Baretta “Fornero Law at its plant must be protected” but you have to “act on flexibility in output.” Thus, he adds, “is impractical.”

“The Law Fornero in his facility must be defended because it has ensured the stability of the accounts and put us in a stronger position towards the EU”, he stressed Baretta. “What needs to be addressed – notes the Secretary – is not a change of the Law but some critical points such as stiffness in the transition age pension which in some cases is also a rise in six years” for the exit from the labor market. “Personally I think the best way to defend the Law Fornero, at the same time giving answers to a feeling that is spreading – reiterates Baretta – is acting on flexibility in output. The government is working on it and times are those of the Stability Law” .

Meanwhile, it is possible that in the Def expected by April 10, you are already the basis for a flexible exit scheme. “Before giving an orientation on the accounts is better to make in terms actuarial calculations. For now, what matters is that the government is working,” explains Baretta.

Among the hypotheses to overcome the rigidities Baretta bowl with the neatness of the recalculation with the contribution system of the entire working life. “It ‘impractical, is likely to be detrimental,” emphasizes the Secretary, adding that “a solution would be the social security allowance reduction for those who want to hang out before: how and to what extent are under consideration” and the question “reasonably be addressed with the law of stability.

<'p> Among the roads passable judged by Undersecretary remains that the social security loan with the company’s involvement. “The advantage of this solution – he concludes – is that the worker with hard work if it wants can retire earlier, but also the company would have the advantage of encouraging the generational change. This is one way to study.”
